Being a owner and driver I am not satisfied at all with Hoosier. My tires aren't lasting any longer than Goodyear did, and they aren't any cheaper either. On top of that I have a few gripes with Hoosier. First off they went and changed the numbers on the tires. Now if you had any left over from previous years (and some of us low budget teams do) you cant run them. Gotta buy new. Now they're playin around with the tire sizes. Earlier in the year all the right rears were small 104" to 104.5". All I can get now are big, 106" is the smallest I can find anywhere lately. What does this mean? Well, my left rears don't wear out as fast and they were all smaller so now I have to buy 2 tires in order to keep the same staggers I had before. Its all just a big game of trying to make money and to hell with the racers. No matter what company it is.
Sincerely,
Very dissatisfied customer.

I'm on the same page. Going through a rr every 1.5 nights and a lr every 2. Thats if it doesn't take rubber. Had a couple of tracks that normally don't take rubber that have in spots . I hasn't been that bad but i'm worried when the dry summer really hits.

I think hoosier is paying promoters to keep dry tracks. In fold burn up more tires and have to buy more.

“I'm happy with it,” said Alan Kreitzer, a member of the management team at Lincoln. “Guys have told me the wear factor is better and that the tires last a couple weeks.
“I think the racing has been good. It's also provided a secondary market, and I think it's helped our 358 division.”
Sounds like a win-win.
The true test is still yet to come. When the weather changes, so does track conditions. Tires can take a beating after a day of sunshine and brutal, hot temperatures.
“I'm not really concerned,” Kreitzer said. “Our guys are using softer tires and if it becomes an issue, Hoosier has provided another option to go to.”
